CATRICE Vernis à ongles Gel Affair 049 Flirt Frequency, 10,5 ml

CATRICE Gel Affair 049 Flirt Frequency nail polish, 10.5 ml

A luminous fuchsia, firmly on the loud side of pink, drying to a deep shine that comes very close to a gel manicure. No UV lamp is involved, and the formula is stated to last up to seven days.

Coverage is full from the first coat, which spares you from piling product on. Neither a base nor a top coat is needed: the polish handles all three jobs by itself.

Key points

• Bright, luminous fuchsia shade
• High-gloss gel look without a UV lamp
• Wear time stated at up to 7 days
• Works without a base or top coat
• Vegan, fragrance-free and paraben-free

The trick to long wear is degreasing: wipe the bare nail with a cotton pad soaked in remover before the first coat, even when it looks clean. After that, two thin coats always beat one thick one, which stays soft underneath and dents at the slightest knock. Seal the free edge by running the brush along the tip of the nail.
